I still don't know what to think of my new meds. I still feel confussed a lot and unfocused would be another good word. These are the moments I feel crazy. I am manic and numb at the same time. I just don't know if I like this feeling. I have a hard time thiking at work which is a really bad thing. I'd rather be swinging from the tree branches with my mood swings than feel like this. Please tell me this is not how "normal" people feel. I want to sort of crawl out of my skin and be myself. Like butterfly. i feel almost trapt in this state unable to get out and be the person I am struggling ot be and feel I can be on the inside. They said Abilify is an alomst over night diffrence type of medication. I have noticed athe diffrence but is it me just wanting to feel diffrent or is it real? I have paranoid deliusion so I feel like I am being parnoid and making myself feel this way. AHHHHH... i really feel like I am going crazy. I can't think full thoughts. I thought I had ADHD before. good lord that was nothing compared to now.

Abilify may not be working right for you. Sorry, but that is the only thing I can think of. Perhaps you should try a lower dosage, that is what I did when I was all over the place yet nowhere when I was on too high of a dosage. Good luck

i kinda had the same experience on it. i was on 30mg. but i also feel it just didn't work for me. didn't keep me stable, i was always moody still, and things just always spun out of control. so i stopped taking it 6 months ago and went that whole time with no meds. now i am working on getting back on some this week. so hopefully this new stuff will keep me stable.

How long have you been on the abilify again? At what dose? It sounds like a med adjustment, or change, may be in order. While the Abilify was a miracle drug for me, I still had to go from 15 mg to 20 before I reached my current stability. Talk to your pdoc as soon as you can.

I can count 4 times this year when I Went out of my way to make sure a "friend" felt good on their birthday, especially if they got left hanging. Its early in the...
